Thank you ever so much. All is working properly now after setting up retropie-mount. Much appreciated

@CubeBox391 there's a snes version of ms. pacman, which will work. there's a few other pacman games (although apart from ms. pacman they don't really play like the original):

basically anything that is actually a SNES game will work on the SNES emulators :)

@asktheaxis it should not be too hard to find a correct rom for SNES, it may become much harder when you decide to go for arcade roms ;D
However: a sidenote, you can keep the SNES roms in zip-format.
Try to search for zipped roms with the addition "good", "[!]" or "tosec".
Those will work for sure.

@retrotarta I'm replying myself to say that lr-snes9x is apparently working reasonably well.

@jackiehanna dude, that PSU won't be giving your Pi enough juice. It's just a phone charger.

Edit- I've just realised I've already commented on another of your posts where you were having HDMI issues and you posted that you were using the same charger.

Go and but a new power supply, preferably the official Pi charger. You'll find most of these issues are down that and that alone.

pls delete I found out how to save position with the hotkeys

So EasyHax pointed out to me that any gamelist.xml file in the roms directory will override the one in the .emulationstation/gamelists/ directories. Sure enough I found a 0 byte gamelist.xml file in the snes roms directory. It HAD to be something this simple...

Pi is very demanding on the power supply.
If the voltage is below 5.2V, turbo mode is disabled
PI will operate at a reduced frequency in throttling mode.
Some SNES games, even on an optimized driver under the SNES2002 AWS, will slow down.

avoid warnings=2 fixit problem

@xwons I just came across this thread on google, registered to this forum just to confirm xwon's solution fixed this problem for me. No more troublesome multitap snes games! Thank you for taking the time to respond to this thread with the answer.

@batesman hi, i have been having the same problems with my 8bitdo. Did you ever manage to fix the problem? I just got my 8bitdo today and while i was playing super mario kart it just steered me into a wall on a few occasions, then started resetting the game or just going back to the game list menu. worked 100% ok playing golden axe 3 for megadrive so only noticed it in the snes emulator.

@MWGemini awesome, thanks for the info.

I ran into this the other day. After some googling it turns out the default input configuration is for xbox controllers which did't work for me (using 8bitdo).

You need to edit /opt/retropie/emulators/pisnes/snes9x.cfg and manually configure the inputs. You can test your controller to get the right numbers using

jstest /dev/input/js0

To reduce conflicts I set the values for QUIT,ACCEL,QLOAD,QSAVE, and LEFT,RIGHT,UP,DOWN 1 and 2 to numbers around 100.

Edit: Realized I was just parroting the official documentation about it: https://github.com/retropie/retropie-setup/wiki/super-nintendo-entertainment-system#pisnes

@dsfrancis

Adding to what @MagiusRetro said, you could also have the settings he mentioned applied on a per-game basis to avoid having to deal with the drawbacks in all your other games. More information can be found at the link below.

@SOSretro same here. Zonmack controllers just vibrate. Following to see if you find a solution.

Thank you that is all I needed to know. Thanks again for the reply.
